Hawthorn Berry Tincture (59ml)

Summary
Hawthorn Berry Tincture (59ml) is a high-quality, super-concentrated liquid herbal extract made from dried, organic hawthorn berries (Crataegus spp.). This tincture has been specially developed to support cardiovascular health, circulation and the cells' natural defenses against oxidative stress. Hawthorn, also known as the "herb of the heart", has long traditions in both European herbal medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. With a 1:3 ratio of herb to solvent, this product offers a powerful and bioavailable formula that preserves the most important active compounds from the berries. The product is made from sustainable sources and is completely pure, without pesticides or chemicals, making it a safe choice for adults who want a natural dietary supplement.

Health benefits
Hawthorn berries offer a number of health benefits that are well documented in both traditional use and modern research:

• Contributes to normal heart function: Flavonoids and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) in hawthorn support normal blood flow and may help maintain normal blood pressure.

• Protection against oxidative stress: Antioxidants such as vitamin C and polyphenols help protect the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals.

• Supports healthy circulation: Hawthorn can help widen the blood vessels (vasodilation), which promotes better coronary blood flow and reduces the strain on the heart.

• May have sedative properties: Traditional use shows that hawthorn can help promote mental calm and reduce mild anxiety.

• Supports digestion: Hawthorn berries can help support healthy gut flora and ease mild digestive discomfort.

• Diuretic effect: Hawthorn can help eliminate excess fluid and support the body's natural detoxification processes.

• Support for memory and cognitive health: Research indicates that the antioxidants in hawthorn may help protect neurons and support mental clarity.

• Women's health: Hawthorn can help relieve mild symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes and mood swings, thanks to its circulation-promoting and calming properties.

Important health effects
The two most documented and sought-after effects of hawthorn berry are:

1. Natural heart protection and circulatory support: Studies show that hawthorn can strengthen the heart muscle and improve blood flow, especially useful for people with mild to moderate heart failure or angina.

2. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support: Hawthorn helps reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, which are important factors in maintaining cardiovascular health.

A lesser known but surprising effect is the support for cognitive health, where the antioxidants may protect the brain from oxidative damage, with the potential to improve memory and mental clarity, especially in older adults.
